The Sky is Broken
By Stranger
Her eyes turning to the heavens
These words falling from her mouth:
“All of the stars are forgotten lovers
and the sky is broken
Come closer, come closer
Take me into your heart,
as I take you into my arms
Come closer, come closer
My skin pressing yours, your heat and your sweat,
almost feeling, almost knowing, you
Come closer, come closer
Your name is my name, and my beauty is yours
the earth trembles, there is danger, wait
Now closer, yes closer”
That is, exactly, what I heard
Though it is not, at all, what she said

So you're alive too! :) This was a lovely treat tonight. Something about the way you write, whatever you write . . . of all the things I've changed my mind about over the years, your poetry is an unchanging source of pleasure. It's almost a litmus test of how human I remain - will it still move me? - and lo, I'm still human. Thanks for that :)
